Good Luck.
government in Kenya has agreed on new law on marriage. It has made many female politicians very angry. Marriage Bill allows men to have as many wives as they want. Men will soon be able to marry other women without even telling their wife. There was big argument between male and female politicians. Many female lawmakers walked out of debate in anger. The law was going to make it illegal to have more than one wife, but male lawmakers changed their mind. One male politician said law was fair to women. He said that for the first time, women who get divorced would have 30 per cent of family house and other things of value belonging to couple.

Kenyan politician Samuel Chepkong'a said new law simply keeps alive Kenya's traditions. He told reporters: "When you marry African woman, she must know second one is on way, and third wife. This is Africa." Kenya's Nation newspaper said law did not show Kenya as modern country. It wrote: "This is [backwards] move that is simply taking us back into Dark Ages, at time when we should be strengthening family values." Female politician Sopian Tuya said law was unfair to first wife because second wife would take all money. She also warned men about marrying in secret, saying: "We know that men are afraid of women's tongues more than anything else."
